What Color Is This Owl?

[seoulsearch]

I think Winston has done gone into politics. He is trying his wing at spin control.
THIS is what Winston looks like.

THIS may be the result of photoshop, or a phone with an inaccurate camera, or I don't know what else, but THIS is not what Winston looks like:

I even got independent verification, in this very thread, from someone else who has met (and apparently tried to strangle?) Winston.

When we get to the next meetup I will hold that second picture up beside Winston and defy anybody to say they are the same color.

And Winston is STILL not getting my vote.

All right everyone, the moment of truth is finally here!!

I've been trying to post a picture of Winston, but I'm pretty bad at tech stuff and don't have the patience to try to download/figure out another app that will resize pictures (I was trying on the apps I already have, but apparently they don't have that option.)

And so, as you can see, my current avatar is #TheREALWinston (all others are pale imitations,) along with clear color swatches of kelly green and cobalt blue for comparison.

Winston says he doesn't care if any evidence says otherwise, he still identifies as turquoise (or teal, if he's feeling generous.)

He can be a little stubborn, but he's the smallest in the flock and has to stand up for himself (especially against a certain Faraway Cat.)

And please don't say anything about his wrinkles -- even my Mom commented the day I got him that the stuffing machine must have been running out when they got to him!

He's VERY self-conscious about it and that's why he will always be looking up at you hoping you will share your snacks -- he's just trying to fill out his fluff.

Winston looks like a shade of teal.

Yep, my house is filled with it, a happy color. it's teal.

He can identify as anything he wants for all I care.

I would like to identify as retired, but my wallet is notoriously closed-minded. Sometimes life doesn't care what you identify as.

That picture in your avatar, didn't you take it long ago with a previous phone?

If so, that is a good demonstration of the difference between different phone cameras.

I've had this phone for 5 years.

I don't think I even owned Winston before then,, so no, any pictures of him have all been on the same phone I have now.

The picture in my avatar was taken this morning.

Winston was feeling particularly photogenic. 😁

He’s practicing for the press photo when he becomes the first turquoise vice president. He will just be a street crossing gone wrong on Dave’s part from becoming the first turquoise President!

Then you have set that stage before. I think those were even the same clothing items you used in the last picture you took trying to demonstrate Winston's exact color.

Also he doesn't look nearly as blue in your avatar picture.

I'm starting to think that there is no smear campaign against his color and he's just partially a chameleon.

Winston is practicing for his big political career!

He's seeing if he can master changing shades on a whim, depending on what the audience wants to see. 😬

Winston likes the idea of the prestige, but without all the extra work, so he's fine with being vice president. 🦉

He's hoping Dave will live out all 9 of his lives! 😺

Is the top half of this grey shape darker than the bottom half?

Cover the middle section with your finger to find out.

Yes and I refuse to believe what my eyes want me to think.

This is an interesting turn of events considering that a group of owls is commonly called a "parliament" or "congress." THIS all appears to be plan for Squish Mallows to take over the world!

It's okay to not believe your eyes with this one:

Stare at the center of the first image for about ten seconds and then scroll down to look at the next image:

It reminds me of my drinking days.

His political mentor must have been the Marx Brothers. Didn’t one of them say that “These are my principles. If you don’t like them I have others”.

That does it. I'm inspired to keep a watch out for Babs the bluejay squish mallow the next chance I get. A group of bluejays is called a "party" or sometimes a "scold." I will do whatever it takes to keep color confused owls from taking control of the world.

The furby mob will oppose you. They're too invested in this election.
